27,000  Syrians receive Swedish Citizenship 2021

Published 31 December 2021

By Per Nordin 

Before the end of the year, Sweden has issued about 85,000 new citizenships, and "the new Swedes" come mainly from the Arab world, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Eritrea. 

About 40,000 of the citizenships during the year have gone to people from the Arab world, of which 27,340 (went) to migrants from Syria. In addition, 4,305 Somalis, 4,067 Afghans, and 3,471 Eritreans have become Swedish citizens in the past year. For Norwegians, Danes, and Finns the numbers are 163, 198, and 204 respectively.

It also seems that almost 50,000 persons with Swedish citizenship emigrated during 2021-but it is unclear how many of these are immigrants from the third world. It can also be noted that 2,594 of those who received Swedish citizenship during the year were stateless and that 2,049 came from Poland. In 1,530 cases the homeland was listed as "unknown".

One can also see that Sweden is especially popular with the immigrant groups who already have a large number of fellow-countrymen here-for example, Somalia or Syria. For persons from African countries like Chad, Malawi, Madagascar, and Equatorial Guinea, only 4 citizenships were granted in total.

Fousesquawk comment: Are these numbers important? Let me say first that it should not matter what color Swedish society becomes in the next decades. What is important is what the newcomers bring to their new countries and whether they share the same values as the host country. Do they come legally, and have they been properly vetted? Do they believe in the Western principles of democracy, equality, freedom of religion, speech, and the rights of women, gays, and minorities? Will they respect Swedish law, will they assimilate, and will they become productive citizens? If the answer to these questions is yes, then I say welcome.

However, evidence produced since the great refugee wave began in 2015 is not encouraging. These same groups have contributed greatly to crime, social welfare costs, and social discord. And then there is the issue of Islam which, in my view, is a great obstacle to total assimilation-to say nothing of the terroristic attacks which are occurring. It is a proven fact that many mosques in Western Europe are preaching hated to their followers, hatred of the West, hatred of democracy, hatred of Christians and Jews. 

Sweden wanted to become more diversified, and it is achieving that at great costs because they erred in deciding who to allow in. Assimilation, I predict, will not take place in Sweden and Europe. All Western Europe is doing is doubling down and importing more and more people whose values are vastly different from those of Europe. In the case of Sweden, all this does is increase the power of the Social Democrats, a party that has dominated Swedish politics for decades. The overwhelming majority of these new citizens will surely be voting for the Social Democrats in the years to come. Remember that the population of Sweden is 10 million people. The latest estimates I have heard indicate that about 10% of the population is of foreign background.

I have spent enough years in Europe to know that there are great immigrants in these countries including from the above-mentioned countries. People who want to become a productive part of their adopted countries, run businesses, restaurants, and get their children into college. Unfortunately, they are badly tarred by the rotten apples that are now arriving.

Sweden's political leaders, like their counterparts throughout Western Europe cannot be this dumb. To me, this is a conscious effort to bring down Western civilization. And it is working perfectly.
